the-pi-guy said: TLOU 2 was "remastered" earlier this year for PS5, so that's probably going to come to PC earlier next year. PS5 Stuff that has yet to make it to PC: Astro Bot I'm certain Astro's Playroom won't make it. Demon's Souls, TLOU 2, Spider-Man 2 will probably be the slate for next year. PS4 games going backwards: I removed most of the really obvious stuff that 100% will never make it (like the pile of MLB The Shows). Also removed Dreams since that is dead. A lot of the PS4 stuff seems very unlikely. Between being a failure or being too old. The Order absolutely could just be ported over, since it's still a stunner, but it wasn't critically or commercially acclaimed. I could see Sony pushing for full Uncharted, God of War remakes the same way that we saw TLOU 1 remake. It'd be a lot of work, but I think they'd find that worth more than making a Knack remaster... I feel like there's 1 game in particular on that PS4 list that sticks out, that was successful and modern enough to be worth a PC port. |
I don't think Sony has much interest in going back into the PS4 gen anymore. The only PS4 games that made their way to PC that weren't previously remastered at their release on PC were God of War, Days Gone, and Horizon Zero Dawn. And those were among the first PC ports. Horizon is now remastered for PS5 and Days Gone for PS5 appears to be next. Grubb is even doubling down on that happening. I wouldn't be surprised if God of War 2018 gets remastered at some point
But Sony does seem focused on PS5 games getting ported going forward. They're still working on finishing up their early PS5 backlog as well as simultaneously working on newer games. Tsushima finally made its way over after several years, and Ragnarök made its way over after less than 2 years. I think that's a good steady combo of releasing an older game along with a somewhat newer game, and then mixing in live service day 1 games as well as I'm guessing remakes going forward like they are with Until Dawn? Either way, that's a pretty steady release schedule when it comes to PC ports.
What will really be interesting is when Sony finally finishes up their backlog and there's more dry spells.
